1	The LORD shewed# me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set# before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive# Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought# them to Babylon.
			2	One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten# , they were so bad. [they...: Heb. for badness]
			3	Then said# the LORD unto me, What seest# thou, Jeremiah? And I said# , Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten# , they are so evil.
			4	Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying# ,
			5	Thus saith# the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge# them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent# out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good. [them...: Heb. the captivity]
			6	For I will set# mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again# to this land: and I will build# them, and not pull them down# ; and I will plant# them, and not pluck them up# .
			7	And I will give# them an heart to know# me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return# unto me with their whole heart.
			8	And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten# , they are so evil; surely thus saith# the LORD, So will I give# Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain# in this land, and them that dwell# in the land of Egypt:
			9	And I will deliver# them to be removed# # into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive# them. [to be removed: Heb. for removing, or, vexation]
			10	And I will send# the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed# from off the land that I gave# unto them and to their fathers.
